THE BENEFITS OF USING JENNIFER Integrated Performance Monitoring JENNIFER provides comprehensive and integrated performance monitoring through its many dashboard views, which include Realuser Monitoring and Real-time Topology. Service Availability JENNIFER analyzes statistical data regarding system resources, application performance and errors with a view to achieving continuous and optimal service availability. Fast Problem Troubleshooting JENNIFER s continuous monitoring helps with rapid detection and troubleshooting of performance problems. That can help prevent the problems from affecting service availability later. Improved Customer Satisfaction Minimizing system downtime and improving overall performance at the application and system levels greatly improves customer satisfaction.
APPLICATION PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT Monitor Application Performance Intelligently with JENNIFER. JENNIFER is a performance management solution for monitoring and analyzing performance at each stage of the lifecycle: development, testing, launch, operations, and stabilization of applications. It has powerful features such as real-time monitoring of services and resources, performance and fault analysis, reporting, etc. Real-time monitoring and X-View help clients to handle application management tasks more quickly and efficiently. Application Performance Management (APM)? Application Performance Management (APM) is a system management methodology that focuses on monitoring and managing application software performance and service utilization. It includes real user monitoring, deep dive application component monitoring, transaction monitoring, and analytics. It is a critical function managed by DevOps, IT operation, application teams, developers, support teams, business managers, and other application professionals.
JENNIFER s topology view is a key feature enabling visualization of Web systems across the whole enterprise. JENNIFER provides effective monitoring of the Web application server (WAS) in a black box fashion. In fact, it enables monitoring of each transaction that takes place in the WAS. JENNIFER s advanced capabilities include monitoring of transactions in the DB, external services, HTTP server, and other subsystems associated with the WAS. Using active service data for subsystems and response time data, it is possible to intuitively monitor the locations of bottlenecks. For example, it is possible to monitor whether load balancing is achieved by database (DB) dualization. This enables you to head off faults before they happen. It is possible to intuitively analyze all transactions executed in a subsystem through X-View.
Monitoring of Large-scale Sites by Grouping Large-scale Web systems use a lot of instances to execute the same service. It is possible to monitor the instances through real-time grouping. It is possible to monitor increases and decreases in the number of instances in real time. If instances do not increase in response to traffic, it is possible to handle the situation through the auto-scaling feature. The performance of a web service is no longer measured in terms of hardware and software usage alone. Customer satisfaction is fast becoming a key performance indicator across virtually all industries, and web services are not immune to this movement. Companies are looking to monitor accurately what customers are experiencing when they use the services, so that they can make improvements to the process and achieve higher levels of customer satisfaction. To answer this need, JENNIFER now offers a real-user monitoring (RUM) feature. JENNIFER measures transaction response time from browser to server, providing a detailed analysis of the application s performance as it traces a user activity path employing the web service.
Real-Time Active Service Monitoring Real-Time Active service monitoring provides speed meter graphs for all processes by which user requests are handled, from immediately after the request hits the Web application server. It is possible to monitor information on transaction execution status, including which transactions are not yet processed, which users are suffering response delay, and which SQL query is currently executing. JENNIFER X-View X-View is a chart, developed by JenniferSoft, which visualizes response times for all executed transactions in graph form. Users can monitor the response times of all services at a glance through X-View in order to discover bottleneck patterns. It also enables analysis of transactions, users, applications, etc. from various perspectives. WAS Start-Time End-Time Response- Time Process-Time End of Transaction Smart Profiling JENNIFER s X-View analysis tool, showing the response times of individual transactions, has proven its worth to many customers. Profiling and analysis of individual transactions are advanced functions tools used by developers or professionals specializing in performance tuning. So, JENNIFER also provides a Smart Profiling function that enables easy analysis and configuration of profiling data. This function is so simple to use that anyone can quickly and accurately identify the location of a performance deterioration or a processing delay in a transaction by using filtering and analysis.
Architecture Cloud Support Cloud computing is revolutionizing how IT resources are used and managed. Administrators can now setup or take-down virtual servers in minutes as needed - also the applications that run on them. To really benefit from a cloud environment, the flexibility and convenience that it offers in terms of hardware resourcing has to be matched in the application deployment and performance management space. JENNIFER provides the following three features, which support application performance monitoring in a cloud environment. Automated detection of system expansion. Integrated agent management (centralized agent deployment and upgrades). A dashboard for the service (domain) perspective. Scalable Architecture APM typically needs to monitor more systems and store more data these days due to a proliferation of web systems. For that reason, JEN- NIFER changed its architecture from a conventional agent/server architecture to an architecture that uses different servers for data collection and view generation. JENNIFER Repository JENNIFER Repository has a highly flexible and expandable architecture. Users can store and compare huge volumes of performance data, removing the need for additional systems.
Platform Platform Support Web systems run on a wide variety of different platforms. JENNIFER supports monitoring for Java platforms, Microsoft.NET, and PHP (the most common JENNIFER platform). HTML 5 View JENNIFER offers N-screen monitoring implemented with standards-based HTML 5. Users can view JENNIFER screens without extra plug-ins for browsers or devices (PC, mobile, tablets, etc.). N-screen: Enables the user to view the same content via several different devices. BYOD (Bring your own device): Utilization of personal smart devices for the business activities in the company.
System Administrator Dashboard Real-Time Monitoring Chart When performance issues occur, the system administrator is responsible for identifying problems and stabilizing the operation of services. The system administrator dashboard consists of a real-time monitoring chart for services and system resources and a chart for comparing statistical information. With these charts, the system administrator can not only analyze the service load and performance status but also carry out normal system operations. Manager Dashboard Although this dashboard relates primarily to mangers in the IT department, it is possible that a consulting team or IT planning group would require the ability to monitor operations in a similar way. The manager dashboard provides monitoring functions organized into two different perspectives. With these function, the manager can intuitively identify correlations that indicate the causes of a deterioration in business performance. It is possible to see whether the deterioration is a problem with the system as a whole or only a particular part of the business. The manager can also facilitate communication between personnel who are responsible for relevant activities in the IT department or elsewhere. It is the manager s role to ensure that everyone works together to provide seamless IT services to the business. To achieve this, it is necessary to monitor both the system and the business. Multi-Domain Dashboard Business View Real-Time Domain Monitoring Chart for comparing statistical information System View This dashboard enables management of a large-scale system in a cloud environment with minimal human input. These days, it is essential that APM solutions are able to cope with such systems. JENNIFER s multidomain dashboard is comprised of a real-time active service chart, an overall performance chart showing the status of the entire system and a chart showing event notifications. With these tools it is possible to monitor multiple domains in a large-scale enterprise environment, in real time, and all from a single screen. As new IT trends such as mobile devices, the cloud and big data have emerged, management of IT operations has become more complex. In Web environments it is becoming difficult to monitor the sheer number of transactions across multiple applications in a rigorous way. JENNIFER has revolutionized APM in terms of monitoring capabilities, the ability to inspect individual transactions, the provision of architectural and platform overviews, and in terms of its user views.
